Answer:

d. Both A & C

Explanation:

- The velocity of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates its rate of change of position, and it has a direction. In this case, the ball is moving upward, therefore the direction of motion is upward, so the direction of the velocity is upward as well.

- The acceleration of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates the rate of change of the velocity. The direction of the acceleration is:

-- positive if the the magnitude of the velocity is increasing

-- negative if the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing

For a ball thrown upward, the acceleration is given by the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration points downward, and it is constant during the entire motion. In particular, it does not change direction, as it is always directed downward. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is downward.

So, the correct answer is

d.Both A & C

Since A and C are both true:

a.The velocity vector is directed upward.

c.The acceleration is directed downward.

puteri [66]
The cabinet is being pulled with 200N and is being rested by a force equal to 200N. That is why it is not being moved. 


<span>Although the force of static friction can equal Fk=µs*F=m*g*µs=(30kg)*(9.8m/s^2)*(0.80)=235 N. It is not resisting the 200N force with 235N. Imagine if you pushed something with 200N and it pushed you back with 235N, especially a cabinet. You would think that the cabinet was alive.</span>

How would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia?
daser333 [38]
I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)
